yes it does. colder weather, and the same shot will net better numbers.

your times were ok, on a 150 shot you should see at least 12.5's even with your 20's.

then i went back with the cam and radials and in 90 degrees and ran a 8.8

once it cools off your times will drop, along with with more practice.
thank you man! its kind of a big deal for me when i can go to the track in the states

good luck with your truck

well that's the best i could do, thank you for the comments, i am not an expert, maybe u should give me some ideas what to check and see whats wrong, i felt the truck strong, more then a second better then in Mexico in a 1/8

i was thinking maybe the transmission or converter was slipping at the track already.... just an idea

I would say you should be a good bit faster. You get some tires so you can launch and you should be mid 12s. I ran 13.4 on a 100 shot, tune and 2800 stall(3200ish on nitrous). You have a cam and weigh much less then I did with those times.

Traction and your first time out held you back some. I would think with your current set up could make 13.2.

What do u guys think is better, stall 2500 or not stall, or what do u guys do, I'm sure if I had had traction and sprayed out of the start line it would be better

i had the best 60 on street tires by not stalling it up, on radials stalling up to around 1000-1200 launched pretty good

Also do you remember what rpms were when you crossed the finish? or did it shift right before you crossed?

yea on street tires all stalling up will do is make it spin more.

if you could have hit a better 60 im sure your times would have been better.

but its all in fun and practice
